Enhancements¶

Folder Level Permissions for Extraction

Users can now grant permission to access the parent folder and its subfolders, including the root folder, for extraction.

DXP Based on MultiSource

TIBCO Spotfire now supports extraction of DXP reports based on multisource (SBDF, IL, CSV, XLS, Text, and Database) and SPDF reports as BI reports.

Filter Extraction

TIBCO Spotfire now supports selection of projects for extraction (selective extraction).

Fixed Issues¶

TIBCO Spotfire Server Accepts IP Addresses as URI¶

TIBCO Spotfire Server accepts only an IP Address in the JDBC URI field.

The issue is now fixed. The connector now accepts hostname and port as part of the JDBC URI. (AL-154341)

Unable to Use the Open with BI Server Functionality¶

The Open with Server BI button on the UI for the TIBCO Spotfire connector works only at the top-most level (BI Server); at lower levels, it maps to incorrect URLs.

The issue is now fixed. (AL-160748)

Metadata Extraction Fails After Granting Permission to New Folders¶

After granting permissions to access new folders for extraction, MDE fails with the following error: Error Fetching Data from Tibco SPOTFIRE

The issue is now resolved. (AL-162672)
